Flower Size 2 to 3" [5 to 7.5 cm]
Found in northeastern India, north Thailand, Myanmar, northern Laos, and southwestern China on tree trunks at forest margins at elevations of 1100 to 1900 meters as a small to medium sized, cool growing epiphyte that has an erect, yellowish pseudobulb with 2 swollen, central internodes carrying 6 leaves per growth with the apical, oblong-lanceolate, thin-textured, shiny, rich green, and leathery leaves persisting for several growing seasons and then become deciduous. The lateral or subterminal, 4" [10 cm] long, racemose inflorescence arise from the nodes near the apex of the mature pseudobulb with 1 to 5, extremely fragrant, spreading, glossy, short lived flowers that occur in the spring and again in the fall.
This species flourishes if left to dry out just a little between winter waterings but morning mistings may be nessasary, increase water and fertilizer with the advent of new growth.
